Vol 2 Chapter 20: Recognition and challenge

The same action without matching strength is called arrogance; if there is strength, it is called self-confidence.
But An Luo prefers the word arrogance! I always feel that I am a little bit rebellious and self-confident.
He was confident that the ball would score, so he turned around and ran back on purpose. He even opened his hands and waved up a few times. He knew that someone named Arenas had done this action before, but he did it better and the timing was more perfect. He thinks that when people see this action, the first thing they think of is An Luo.
This action not only made all fans remember him, but also quickly spread through the media. Many people know that there is an arrogant Chinese who has conquered an American arena in an American way.
"You are really awesome! I XX..."
Holiday, the nearest to An Luo, ran over and gave An Luo a fist, and couldn't help but explode! He really admires his little friend! This kind of confident turning back is awesome! He even silently planned to try it by himself when he was silent.
"Unbelievable!"
The live DJ kept repeating this word, not because of his accurate three-pointer, but because of An Luo's behavior.
The moment the basketball hit the net, the audience on the spot was boiling, and they felt a passion different from dunking and blocking shots. Invisible force is the most deadly.
The next game became a one-sided form. Because Anluo played two consecutive three-pointers with momentum, the players ran fast and grasped the opportunity better. One wave put the game into garbage time. By the end of the first half, he was 16 points ahead of the opponent.
The spectators present in this game are blessed. They witnessed the first change in the past few years, and also witnessed an offensive gluttonous feast.
Anlow's three-pointers, Alex's mid-range, and Holiday and Prince's breakthrough layups, even the coolie Tony can perform a short shot.
In the non-stop mutual shielding and running positions, everyone can get a shot. And everyone is determined. They also controlled their rebounds and got many second offense opportunities.
Despite being disadvantaged on the defensive end, the two-layer defense composed of Holiday, Alex and Tony is not completely useless. Moreover, with such a powerful offensive firepower, everything will be concealed.
Anything, different people will have different views.
Some people agreed with the tactical adjustments in the second half. They feel that Alford's substitution is an active exploration of the team's tactical system and put it into actual combat. This is a manifestation of the progress of basketball and a manifestation of approaching the development of modern basketball. They believe that college basketball should develop into a small ball. Only a faster pace can be more in line with the characteristics of players of this age, and can they give play to the advantages of players of this age. It should not continue to stick to the old style, like a group of old men playing chess.
They expressed their understanding of An Luo's behavior in the game, and young people should look like young people.
With recognition, there will naturally be doubts.
Those who question this feel that Alford has lost his inherited basketball beliefs, and blindly pursues victory but has lost the purest things in basketball: fierce confrontation, fierce fighting, precise mid-range shots, and cool dunks. It even sharply criticized this system without a clear position, subverting the traditional basketball philosophy and player positioning. Centers have no rebounds, point guards don't pass, and shooting guards don't dribble. Of course, this is not just about targeting. In their eyesight, the current basketball development trend, shooting has become the main offensive method. Especially for three-pointers, all players must have a three-pointer in order to have a place.
In short: the public says the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says the mother is reasonable.
This is also in line with the law of social development. There will always be fierce sparks between inheritance and innovation.
In fact, there is no contradiction between the two. Innovation should be an innovation that is conducive to development, and adherence to tradition should be a tradition that is conducive to development. The two should be unified on the same principle and should be mutually reinforcing. Innovative things have good things and bad things. Tradition also has its essence and dross. It will take time for the two to slowly refine and merge.
Unfortunately, for many people, the most lacking is time and patience.
Therefore, in major forums, fans expressed their views on various topics triggered by this game.
"Finally, the success of the Golden State Warriors opened a new window for teams in various leagues."
"The NBA is no longer a real basketball! Unfortunately, the NCAA is about to fall."
"In fact, NBA games are more attractive now. It will cost you to go to the bathroom and come back to the game! So you have to concentrate."
"The game now is very strange! The area where the scorers are now active is only within the two three-point lines. They no longer go to the penalty area to pull up the layup, and no longer pitch back jumpers because of the inefficiency. !"
"So, basketball should also be a sport for gentlemen. I knew it a long time ago, when they put on a suit."
"But this No. 1 player is amazing! His action is so arrogant that I like it."
"It is said to be a Chinese, but not at all like the Chinese I know! They are very restrained and low-key."
...
It is not only Americans who are discussing this, but in faraway China, there are also many people discussing this matter. Many people have already noticed this Chinese guy who plays in the NCAA first-level league, and now it has a wave of enthusiasm.
Tencent Sports~EbookFREE.me~, which has broadcast the high school league, reported the content of the game first: the Chinese teenager became famous in the first battle and conquered the NCAA!
Several other portals are not slow.
Sina: The Chinese defender led Hao to win three consecutive regular matches.
Sohu: Score 18 points in 10 minutes! The Chinese teenager came off the bench, exploded and led the team to victory.
Tiger Fight: With 44 points in three games, the Chinese defender shines in the NCAA Division I.
...
Unlike the Americans, the country is basically harmonious. Of course there were doubts, but soon I was overwhelmed with surprise and excitement.
In the most sluggish era of Chinese basketball, there is such a person who can be famous in the United States, which really gives everyone a sense of comfort. Moreover, compared with other players, An Luo looks even more different. His physical fitness is not strong, at least it does not seem to be strong, but his opponents are very strong, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to have a firm foothold and achieve results under such a contrast.
But An Luo succeeded! It gave everyone hope.
